Sautéed Chard with Feta and Olives
Total time: 20 minutes
Chard, or Swiss Chard, is a slightly bitter green, reminiscent of spinach. Mine is 'Rainbow Chard', thus all the colors. We added feta and Greek olives for a Mediterranean flavor.
Ingredients:
7oz (210gr) chard or Swiss chard
- 1/2 large onion
- 1.5oz (45gr) feta cheese
- 1/4 cup Greek olives about 10 olives
- 1 tbs ketchup
- 1 tbs Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbs fresh oregano
- 2 tsp olive oil
Instructions:
- Wash the chard and trim any bad bits.
- Stack the leaves together and fold over, the long way. Slice into thin strips, about 1/2" (1cm) using both leaves and stems.
- Roughly chop onion.
- Snip oregano leaves.
- Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chard stems and stir-fry over medium heat 3 minutes, then add the leaves. Stir and turn until the leaves wilt and it all fits into the skillet.
- Add the ketchup, vinegar and stir well to combine.
- Reduce heat to low and cook until chard is tender, another 4 - 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- To finish:
- Crumble feta or cut into small cubes.
- Slice olives.
- Remove chard from heat, stir in feta, oregano and olives. Serve.
